Nah, Marc Gasol is great and all but Tony Allen is imo the biggest reason Memphis has arguably the best defense in the NBA. I don't know how you can argue that Iggy is a clearly better defender than him.

He doesn't average 27 minutes a game because they need someone out there that can score every once in a while, that doesn't make him a worse defender. 27 isn't really that low, it's not like he's playing 15 a game.

Brody hit on the point. Iggy and Allen are at least comprable as defenders. Considering Iggy has played 30% more minutes in his games than Allen in his, he absolutely has had more of an impact.
